Answer 2

Answer: - The Iliad ends without total victory for the Greeks because it was a recited or orally read, the Iliad tied together and written about the war and the listeners, and the readers already knew about why the war started and about its ending. So, the Iliad did not bother about writing the total ending and just focused on the after story of the war.

Detailed answer: -

• Homer's Iliad have described about the final year of the war, 'Trojan War'.
• It was a legendary fight between an alliance of Greek city and the city of Troy.
• The Iliad was written in the 8th century after a long oral tradition done.
• The Iliad presents the tragic and thrilled reality about the humans.
• The story shows 52 days of the Trojan war between the Greeks and the Trojans.
• The story and the characters of the story were familiar to all its original Greek audience after centuries of oral telling.
• The listeners and the readers already knew why the war started and they also knew the ending and so, the Iliad did not bother with writing the starting and the total ending.
• The war was started because the Trojan prince of Paris has abducted Helen of Sparta and her husband, so, Menelaus persuaded his brother, Agamemnon, the king of Mycenae, to form a Greek army to get her back again.
• Homer was more concerned about the universal truth which the story can reveal or bring, so, he jumps right into the story after the nine years of war.
